==Plot==

Menon) finds out their relation and beats Thakara unconscious. Thakara, fully filled with revenge on Mooppan, runs away. Once he earns enough money to buy a knife, he returns and kills Mooppan.

==Production==
Initially, writer Padmarajan chose [[Bharat Gopy]] for the role of Maathu Mooppan, but he declined the offer saying he is not interested in doing "commercial films". Later, they had a discussion on the matter a day before the shooting of Padmarajan's ''[[Peruvazhiyambalam]]'' on which Gopy agreed to act on his insistence, after that meeting Gopy changed his views and began appearing in mainstream films as well. In his book ''Abhinayam Anubhavam'' published in 1994, Gopy recalls that, it was Padmarajan, who is younger than me, made me realise that there is no commercial or [[art film]], but only good and bad films.<ref>{{cite news|author1=അനന്തപത്മനാഭന്‍|title='തകരയില്‍ മാതുമൂപ്പനാകാന്‍ ക്ഷണിച്ചു; കച്ചവടസിനിമയിലേക്കില്ല എന്ന നിലപാടില്‍ അദ്ദേഹം ഉറച്ചുനിന്നു'|url=https://www.mathrubhumi.com/books/news/padmarajan-son-ananthapadmanabhan-remembering-bharath-gopi-1.3749457|access-date=16 July 2019|work=[[Mathrubhumi]]|date=24 April 2019|language=ml}}</ref>
